Report OF Colonel Cutshaw TO Mayor
Carringtcn.


Darlington.
The following report has been made
to the Mayor:
CRY ENG1NERR's OFFICE,
RICHMOND, Va, March 2. 1887.
Hon. W. c. Carrington, Mayor Of the
Cfty of Richmond:
Sir.-I have the honor to submit my
fourteenth annual report, with the ac-
companying tables, showing the opera
tions and expenditures OF the depart
ment for the year ending December
81. 1886. .
During the year NJ or Turner street
from Scott to Twenty-third street
Madison street near Belvidere, and
Harrison street from Franklin to half
yay to Park avenue, were acquired and
onened. Hanover street, from Park
avenue to the corporation line, was
opened and graded, and other streets
were graded and otherwise improved
as shown in the tables.
ADVANTAGES OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
The large increase in buildings
throughout the city is evidence OF the
advantages resulting from street I'M
nrovements. and shows clearly where
The city can look for its increase IN

MRS. SHINNICK DEAD.
No Alteration In Fer Statement Cen
esrning Hsr Husbands
Crime.p

Mrs. Shinnick died night before last,
and her funeral will take place from
ST. Peters Cathedral this afternoon.
The deceased was Miss Adams, and
was the wife Of Richard Shinnick, who
at one time kept bar-rooin on the
west side of Sixth street between Broad
and Marshall. Shinnick was regarded
as o tough character, and was promi-
nent at dog and chicken-fghts, but no
thingreally very seriouswas everalleged
against him here. A year or more ago
he abandoned his wife and place OF
business and left Richmond for the
West. So far as known he never wrote
to any one here except Mr.. Knox, and
then very briefly, making inquiries as
TO what was being said of him. When
last heard of he was in the house OF
correction in Cincinnati, having been
taken up under the vagrant act.
DENOUNCED BY HIS WIFE.
In December, 1886, Mrs Shinnick,
being then as she said about TO die, sent
for the officers Of the law and declared
that she had story TO tell. II was, in
effect, that year previous she saw her
husband knock man dead with brass
knuckles and rifle his pockets OF a roll
of money, and then open trap-door
behind the bar and lower the body into
pit.
The Police Justice had the premises
thoroughly examined, but no body was
ever found. Most people came to the
conclusion that Mrs. Shinnick was wan
dering in her mind.
Shinnick expressed q willingness TO
come here and stand trial, but no war
rant was sworn out against him. 1t was
thought to be useless. His wife could
not be witness against him, and there
was no other testimony.
THE DYING WOMAN.
Mrs. Shinnick lived with her mother
and sisters at No. 7l2 north Seven
teenth street, and her disease was a
loathsome one. While the search was
going on at the bsr-room she expressed
great faith that the body would be
found but found it never was nor any
sign OF it.
When the search was given up as
vain she said to her family "never
mind; the truth will come to light some
day. Dick will confess it before he
dies" She never altered her state
ment, but for long time prior to her
death she never mentioned the subject
at all. Her mind wandered very little
indeed, one Of her sisters said yester-
day evening to Dispatch reporter.
The mother and sisters OF the de-
ceased believed that she well knew what
she was talking about, and that she told
the truth but there are few other peo-
pie who put the slightest iaith in the
story. For many reasons 1t was in
credible.
Mrs. Shinnick was dying for months.
Her sufferings were at times intense.
II is doubted il there WAS drop OF
healthy blood in her whole body. She
had lived unhappily with Shinnick, and
no doubt thought she was telling about
what she saw, when in reality she was
only giving the impressions that dis
ease and distress had pictured in her
hrain

the road, and as there has been no
meeting OF the division since January
Sd much important business remained
unattended to. The officers are re-
stricted to certain laws laid down in the
national constitution, and can only act
when SO authorized by the division, and
as the matter now stands no important
measures can be approved or suggested
until the division Will have disposed OF
the large quantity of business already
accumulated in the hands Of the secre-
tary of the Board OF Directors.
In order that proper steps may be
taken to entertain the delegates and
visitors to the coming convention, and
also to dispose of some very important
matters now before this division for
